A thousand mails from Trump

In the thousands of e-mails, Uffe Elbæk has, over the years, been invited to attend particularly important public events where the president was speaking. He has even been promised a place of honour right up front, close to the stage – if he would be so kind as to donate a sum in support of the Trump campaign.

Once or twice, Elbæk even received a personal invitation to attend a private dinner at the presidential resort in Florida. In addition to this, there were endless offers of buying unique Trump T-shirts, caps, and coffee mugs. Via the continuous flow of e-mails, Elbæk was able to follow Trump’s relationship with his political adversaries, the media, and with China – a relationship characterised by fierce criticism, nicknames, the disclosure of stories which the president wrote off as fake news.

Over the next couple of months, you will be able to read a selection of the innumerable e-mails in CC’s foyer and explore Trump’s campaign communication.
